KOOKABURRA CUP WEEKLY WRAP

HERO OF THE WEEK

On a weekend when only one fixture produced a result, hard to go past McCarthy’s matchwinning knock for Burleigh.

VILLAIN OF THE WEEK

With wickets tumbling around him in Burleigh’s frantic run chase, no.6 Nicholas Burton did nothing to help the Bullsharks’ cause when he was run out for two. His dismissal at 5-98 came amid a collapse of 7-13 and almost proved fatal to the side’s finals hopes.

STAT OF THE WEEK

0.06 With Burleigh and Mudgeeraba Nerang both finishing on 85 competition points, percentages were needed to separate the sides. The Bullsharks (1.11) sealed the last finals spot with a marginally better tally than the Bushmen (1.05).

TALKING POINT

If it was Round 21 instead of Round 22, would umpires have allowed Burleigh’s rain-soaked battle with Coomera Hope Island to continue at Avid Concrete Oval?

FINAL LADDER

1. Queens (114pts), 2. Broadbeach Robina (102), 3. Helensvale Pacific Pines (87), 4. Burleigh (85), 5. Mudgeeraba Nerang (85),

6. Southport Labrador (71), 7. Runaway Bay (69), 8. Surfers Paradise (62), 9. Palm Beach Currumbin (55), 10. Coomera Hope Island (49), 11. Alberton (41)
